Before you remove the 4mm screws that hold down the distibutor cap (in my case on my high milage 88 Pickup) SOAK the HELL out of them with good penetrating oil!
Mine broke.
When you re-install them, be sure and use anti-sieze compound.
Surprisingly, the two C-clamps I have holding the cap down made it through inspection.
Don't know when I'll get around to extracting the siezed, broken screws.
